EN: ambitious
This is your friend who has a 10-year plan mapped out on a spreadsheet. They're not just dreaming; they're grinding. They're the 'hustle' culture personified, always looking for the next opportunity, the next promotion, the next side-gig. They have big dreams and the drive to chase them. Think of the valedictorian who's also the student council president and a part-time entrepreneur.
From 'mapag-' (prefix indicating inclination) + 'lunggati' (aspiration, ambition).
ROOT MEANING: aspiration, ambition, desire
